Who wins if Lance doesn't ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSLvcJ4I1mw
http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/...ormance-suspic... A cloud of suspicion lingered over Lance Armstrong when he retired. Both times. When Armstrong bowed out in 2005, L’Equipe didn’t write the commemorative legacy piece he might have hoped for. Instead, “Armstrong’s Lie,” claimed the seven-time Tour champ’s legacy began with doping. On the 2005 podium, Armstrong was famously quoted regarding people who doubt impressive performances in cycling: “I feel sorry for you. I’m sorry you don’t believe in miracles.” Flanking him that day were Ivan Basso and Jan Ullrich, who were both prosecuted for doping soon thereafter. But the 2005 Tour riders marred by doping was not limited to the podium, of course. An appraisal today of the top 20 riders in the final overall reveals the following: * 1. Lance Armstrong, Discovery Channel * 2. Ivan Basso, CSC – confessed to Puerto involvement and banned from 2006 Tour () * 3. Jan Ullrich, T-Mobile – connected to Puerto and banned from 2006 Tour * 4. Francisco Mancebo, Illes Balears – connected to Puerto and banned from 2006 Tour * 5. Alexander Vinokourov, Astana – tested positive for doping at 2007 Tour * 6. Levi Leipheimer, Gerolsteiner — accused of doping by Floyd Landis and former Gerolsteiner manager * 7. Michael Rasmussen, Rabobank – ejected from 2007 Tour while in the yellow jersey * 8. Cadel Evans, Davitamon-Lotto * 9. Floyd Landis, Phonak – disqualified as 2006 Tour winner for doping * 10. Oscar Pereiro, Phonak – alleged to have doped by Landis * 11. Christophe Moreau, Credit Agricole – admitted EPO use after Festina Affaire * 12. Yaroslav Popovych, Discovery Channel – home searched * 13. Eddy Mazzoleni, Lampre-Caffita – charged in doping conspiracy after receiving a two-year ban in 2008 * 14. George Hincapie, Discovery Channel — accused of doping by Floyd Landis * 15. Haimar Zubeldia, Euskaltel-Euskadi * 16. Jörg Jaksche, Liberty Seguros – admitted doping since 1997 * 17. Bobby Julich, CSC * 18. Oscar Sevilla, T-Mobile – suspended by team in 2006 for Puerto links * 19. Giuseppe Guerini, T-Mobile * 20. Carlos Sastre, CSC * Also, 23. Leonardo Piepoli, Saunier Duval-Prodir – tested positive for CERA in 2008 |
